One Last Time
"Boys, it doesn't look good. I think you better make your calls." The older man looked to the group in front of him with sad eyes.
With that said, the young man reached out to his bag and took out his cell phone and dialed the number of his house.
As she walked into the house carrying her two year old son, she was met by her best friend and five year old son.
"Hey, he wasn't any trouble?" She asked.
"Are you kidding me, I love this little guy." He answered.
(Telephone rings)
"Here give him to me. Go get the phone."
With that, she gave her two year old son James to her friend.
"Hello?"
"Hey." came the reply.
"Are you at the airport? Did you get an early flight?"
"No. Listen honey, this is the hardest thing I've ever had to say but the plane is going down. I'm afraid that I won't be coming home this time."
"No, this can't be happening. Not now." She said with tears in her eyes.
When she picked up the telephone
His voice came on the line
She said this can't be happening
And tears fell from her eyes
"What am I supposed to do? I can't lose you. Not now."
"I wish I didn't have to make this call, but I have to say goodbye."
She said what am I supposed to do?
I can't handle losing you
He said I just had to call and say goodbye
One Last Time
"Listen, I realize that there are things that we cannot control."
"Like what?"
"Like who we fall in love with. I'm glad that I fell in love with you. No one else would ever do. And also, we can't control when it's our time. As much as I wish it wasn't, it is my time now."
"What about our planse to grow old together?"
"I'm sorry honey but you broke up. I think the connection is getting bad."
He said there are somethings in life
That are out of our control
Like who we fall in love with
And when it's time to go
She said what about the plans we had
He said this connection's getting bad
But come on baby let me hear you smile
One Last Time
"I'm sorry." She said.
"For what?" He asked.
"There were so many things with us that I did wrong. I would have loved you better if I had known it would end so quickly."
"Stop it. You were the perfect wife and you are a perfect mom. Everything about you is perfect. You got to promise me something."
"What?"
"Go on with your life. James and Brandon need a father."
"I can't replace you."
"You won't. I'll still be with you. I'll be the last thing you see at night and the first thing you see in the morning."
"They're not going to understand."
"Just tell them that Daddy loves them."
She started to apologize For all the things that she'd done wrong
She said I would have loved you better
If only I'd known
He said you were the perfect wife
Promise me you'll go on with your life
She said the boys won't understand
He said tell them daddy loves them
and Be strong
"Honey, I've got to go."
"Don't you dare hang up, Conner. There's so much to say and so little time. I love you so much."
"I love you too Kira."
At that moment, Kira fell to her knees as she felt something blow by her.
"Conner, Conner can you still hear me?" She pleaded.
He said honey I've go to go
She said don't you dare hang up
There's so many things I need to say
I love you so much
It was almost like she felt him leave
She cried out can you still hear me?
She fell down on the kitchen floor
As the signal died
"McKnight", Conner looked over to the older man.
"It was a pleasure coaching you. You were a hell of a ball player."
"No sir, the pleasure was all mine."
As the pilot tried to pull out of the dive
One Last.
The end.
